How to achieve likeness in portraits
Likeness in portraits is a "sub-product" of correct constructive drawing, accurate proportions, angles and alignments, as well as good use of anatomy for artists. "Likeness" does not happen because an artist has some special talent or knows some "secret tricks" of portrait drawing. It is achieved as a result of good drawing skills. Such skills do not come overnight. An art student has to start from learning the basics of the craft, then progress from simple to more advanced topics and finally get all the skills required for drawing portraits. If you would like to find out what level of drawing skills you have and what is needed for drawing realistic portraits that have likeness, check this video - https://lifedrawing.academy/life-drawing-academy-news/how-to-self-assess-your-drawing-skills
